[{"type":"text","content":"Hayasa Metals Announces Completion of Maiden Drill Campaign at Urasar Mineral District, ArmeniaVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 2, 2024) - Hayasa Metals Inc. (TSXV: HAY) (OTCQB: HAYAF) (\"Hayasa\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the completion of its maiden drilling campaign at its 100% owned Urasar Mineral District project in northern Armenia. A total of 2,142 meters were completed in nine holes at the Urasar property during October and November. The Company tested five separate target areas within the 15km long mineralized corridor: Copper Creek, Oxide Basin and Golden Vein in the western part of the exploration permit, Black River and Brick House prospects in the eastern part of the 34 km2 license area.Snow conditions arrived earlier than 2023, with up to 50cm falling at site late last week. The inclement weather necessitated finishing hole UDD-06 earlier than intended and postponing UDD-10, the third hole planned at Black River, until 2025. Despite the program ending a couple of weeks earlier than planned, total meters drilled was well in excess of both the original plan of 1,600m and the recently announced expansion plan of 2,000m (see news release dated November 19, 2024). The first three holes have been logged, split, and processed and the rest of the core is currently in the process of being logged, split and prepped. Minimum 50kg lots will be transported to the ALS lab in Romania within two weeks. Geochemical results are expected to be announced in Q1 2025.Dennis Moore, President and Qualified Person of Hayasa, commented, \"We are pleased with the extent of sulfide mineralization, the intensity of alteration, and the widespread hydrothermal brecciation observed in all but one hole. We are optimistic that the positive assay results from this maiden drill program will help us gain a clearer understanding of the location and structural controls of mineralization within the Urasar District.\" Figure 1: Select Photos of Drill CoreTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/3169/232140_hayasa1en.jpgFigure 2: Magnetic Map of Urasar with Drill Holes PlottedTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/3169/232140_ac71c74374ffbbdf_008full.jpgCEO commentsCEO Joel Sutherland added \"This past summ...
